Psychonauts was what you'd call a cult classic back on the PlayStation 2 - and it's now on course for a PlayStation 4 release in the relatively near future. As with the other last-last-gen titles that Sony's been allowing onto its newest console, we assume that it'll feature trophy support, and will more than likely boast enhanced visuals.
For those of you who don't have a clue what Psychonauts is, it's essentially a 3-D platformer in which you control quirky psychic Razputin. The title's fondly remembered for its interesting art direction and often crazy level design, as well as its exploration of themes regarding the human mind.
Are you a fan of Psychonauts? Will you be playing it again? Sink deep into your subconscious in the comments section below.

I never did get to play this. I'll be picking it up day one.
Still waiting for a ps2 game I care about to pop up on the store.
@DominicanGlory What you after? Sony's taking requests.
@Johnnycide Same here, I was always intrigued by Psychonauts but never played it, so this is a good opportunity to catch up
I can't wait to play this!
Still no Onimusha. I would literally buy all 4 if they put them on the store. I could then die happy.
A seriously good addition. I have a feeling these will keep trickling throughout the year.
This was my game on the Xbox, I will pick this up when it comes out.
@get2sammyb
If Sony is taking requests then I want Yakuza and its sequel.
I brought this two weeks ago on stem and finished it yesterday its a great game
i might wait for it t go on sale before i get it thou
cool
One of those games I've always wanted to play, but never got around to getting it for my PS2. Will definitely give it a go.
A question, though: how open-ended are the stages? Are we talking Banjo Kazooie/DK64 stuff, with each stage being an open world filled with collectibles/stuff to do, or is it more like Mario Galaxy, with structured missions?
@get2sammyb Dragon Quest VIII, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, God Hand, SMT Nocturne, Viewtiful Joe, Capcom vs SNK 2, Final Fantasy XII
I guess this kinda increases the possibility of a Shenmue port...
I'm not impressed with the the PAL PS2 emulation on PS4, at least with the game I bought, GTA SA.
We are in effect getting the slower PAL 50Hz code again, with some weird frame blending emulation in effect to force the game into a 60Hz refresh rate, resulting in choppy performance over 25 unique fps (see the Digital Foundry analysis).
GTA SA also seems to have some weird visual problems in its presentation to me, with some transparent lines / grid type appearance evident across the image.
I've not seen this in any other PS4 games I have played on the console.
This game was pretty cool though, I played it on the original Xbox.
